Seeing that he did not deny it, Lu Pan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just remember what you said. From now on, you call me Brother Lu, and I will call you Brother Erdan!"
Being brothers with a deity? Just thinking about it is exciting!
Zhu Erdan was a little surprised at first, but then he frowned and said hesitantly: "Brother Lu, I can treat you to food and drinks, but I'm afraid my family wealth is not enough to rebuild your golden body!"
As the magistrate of Ju County, Lu Pan naturally knew that Zhu Erdan was not lying. Zhu Erdan was a kind person, but a little dull. He did not know how to run a good business, so he suffered a lot of losses over the years. If it were not for the help of his beautiful wife, it would be difficult for him to maintain his current family business.
Hearing this, Lu Pan said meaningfully: "Brother Erdan, just remember what you said. I will help you find a way to deal with the family property!"
Although Zhu Erdan didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions: Brother Lu is a deity, maybe he has some special tricks? For example, he can conjure up a large sum of money for himself?
Next, Lu Pan and Zhu Erdan talked a lot more, and basically understood Zhu Erdan's character, and then left with satisfaction.
When he woke up the next day, Zhu Erdan did not notice anything unusual. He thought that everything that happened last night was just a dream and did not take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, just after falling asleep that night, Lu Pan's figure appeared in his mind again. Zhu Erdan was a little confused: What's going on? Why do I keep dreaming about Brother Lu Pan?
As if he knew what he was thinking, the bearded Lu Pan explained, "Brother Erdan, this is your dream, but it is indeed real. I used the dream-entering method to enter your dream, so you don't have to be surprised. This is a small gift from me. When you wake up tomorrow, you will know it!"
After saying this, Lu Pan disappeared.
When he woke up the next day, Zhu Erdan looked at the blessing of peace in his hand, was slightly stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth began to slowly rise, and finally he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, it's true, it turns out that all this is true!"
Jiao Niang was a hardworking woman, so she got up much earlier than Zhu Erdan. At this time, she had already prepared breakfast and brought it over. She happened to see Zhu Erdan laughing excitedly. It had been a long time since she saw her husband laughing so happily. She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Husband, what is true? Why are you laughing so happily?"
Zhu Erdan did not hide anything and told her about the dream he had last night. Finally, he showed her the Ping An Fu in his hand. Jiao Niang was surprised and asked, "Are you saying that you have become a brother with a deity like Lu Pan? Did he give you this Ping An Fu?"
Seeing Zhu Erdan nodded, Jiao Niang, although she didn't know whether the story was true or not, still suggested: "Husband, as the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated. Since Brother Lu Pan gave you peace and blessings, you should give something in return. Let's go to the City God Temple with incense and candles to thank Brother Lu Pan!"
Zhu Erdan finally reacted and quickly nodded in agreement, urging: "Okay, hurry up, let's go now!"
Not long after, they arrived at the City God Temple and offered incense to Lu Pan.
Feeling the pure incense, Lu Pan emerged from the void, looking at the two people kneeling respectfully, and nodded with satisfaction: Not bad, they are people who know how to repay their gratitude, especially this beautiful girl who is well-educated and well-mannered, which is rare!
In that case, it would be a good opportunity to help them, which would be mutually beneficial.
That night, Lu Pan's figure appeared in Zhu Erdan's dream again. After experiencing it several times before, Zhu Erdan was no longer surprised by Lu Pan's appearance and started chatting with him in a familiar manner.
During the process, he even recounted the disappointments he had experienced over the years, especially the fact that he had failed in his exams many times.
Hearing this, Lu Pan looked at him and said, "Brother Erdan, the reason why you failed the exam is not because you didn't work hard enough, but because you don't have a smart heart. How about I help you get a smart heart?"
Chapter 188 The Underworld, Red-haired Ghost King Liu Tang
Hearing this, Zhu Erdan's heart was shocked. He was a little tempted, but also a little worried: "Brother Lu, isn't this heart transplant a little too scary? It will kill people, right? And after the heart transplant, will I still be myself?"
Lu Pan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Erdan, how could I harm you? This heart transplant may seem unreasonable to you mortals, but it is common to us gods. Nothing will happen to you, and you will become smarter after the heart transplant. There will definitely be some side effects, but you will still be you!"
After hearing that there was no danger and that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, Zhu Erdan finally couldn't help but be tempted and nodded in agreement, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Big Brother Lu. When the matter is done, I will definitely send you more incense!"
Lu Pan nodded with satisfaction. After leaving Zhu Erdan’s dream, he went straight to a remote courtyard in the city, where an enchanting woman was already waiting for him.
Don't get me wrong, Lu Pan is not here to have affairs, he is here to do business.
The enchanting woman jokingly said, "I didn't expect that the Yin gods who protect the country and the people would also make deals with us monsters, haha!"
Lu Pan raised his eyebrows, and divine power surged all over his body. Just as he was about to attack, the enchanting woman said calmly: "You dare to attack me? Aren't you afraid that the master will cause trouble for you?"
Hearing this, although Lu Pan was unwilling in his heart, he had to put away his momentum and snorted coldly: "Humph, if that master was not behind you, a little demon like you, I would have killed you when you entered the city!"
"So what? You still can't do anything to me? Forget it, I won't waste my words with you. This is the heart you want. I dug it out from a heartless man. Although he is fickle, it is undeniable that the owner of this heart is indeed very talented. If it weren't for the order from that adultery, I really wouldn't want to give it to you!" said the charming woman, reluctantly handing a box to Lu Pan.
When Lu Pan opened it, he saw that there was indeed a heart inside. And for some reason, the heart was still beating as if it was still alive.
After getting what he wanted, Lu Pan did not stay for long. Looking at his departing figure, the enchanting woman could not help but sneer, "Do you really think that master appreciates you? You are just a chess piece of the master. When the matter is done, it will be your death!"
After saying this, the enchanting woman prepared to leave Ju County, but not long after she left the city, she was blocked by a figure.
Looking at the extremely handsome man in front of her, even a charming woman like her, who had seen countless men in the world and had been very open with countless men, could not help but reveal an expression of amazement: What a handsome man, there is probably no one in the world among the three races of humans, demons, and ghosts who can match him!
"Sir, I'm lost. I wonder if you can..." The charming woman lied fluently and had won the hearts of many men with this trick.
Unfortunately, before she could finish, she was interrupted: "No!"
Ok?
The man in front of him seemed a little unusual. If an ordinary man saw that there was no one around, coupled with his current appearance, he would probably have had bad intentions. But this guy...
Thinking of this, the enchanting woman wanted to say something else, but the next second:
puff!
Looking at the big hand that passed through her chest, the enchanting woman said in disbelief: "You..."
I have been open and honest all my life, but today I am the target of being robbed? Could this guy be in the same industry? I only rob men, and he only robs women?
"What do you mean? If you want to talk to me, you have to be sincere. Let me see if you are sincere!" As he said that, Chen Mo took out her heart and said disdainfully, "That's it?"
[Hungry Ghost Realm]
In an instant, the heart turned into black gas and disappeared, followed by the enchanting woman.
"No...my master will not let you go!" Before dying, the charming woman let out an unwilling roar.
call out……
A beam of black light flew away at lightning speed. Chen Mo sneered, "Want to run? Come back here obediently!"
【Flying Thunder God 2nd Stage】
A dark light suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mo. In the dark light, the face of the enchanting woman could be vaguely seen. The dark light said in horror: "No, spare me..."
What responded to her was the soul-devouring ability of [Humanity].
With the slight increase of soul power, the enchanting woman completely disappeared from the world. At the same time, Chen Mo also learned some information from her soul memory.
It turns out that this enchanting woman is a secret agent of a certain prince in the underworld. She is specifically responsible for gathering information from the world of the living and helping that prince to win over many masters in the world of the living. She usually practices by digging out people's hearts. The smarter the person, the more she likes them. The human heart that Lu Pan got was one of the ones she collected.
As for why she was able to get in touch with Lu Pan, the story started half a year ago. At that time, she was the messenger of the underworld lord and came to recruit the City God of Ju County. The City God refused, but Lu Pan became interested and secretly found her. With her help, he reached a cooperation with the underworld lord forces behind her.
The specific content of the cooperation is: the princes of the underworld help Lu Pan become the new city god, but Lu Pan must be loyal to that prince of the underworld!
On the second day after the cooperation was formally established, the princes of the underworld really began to make trouble for the City God of Ju County in the underworld. In order to fight against the invasion of the princes of the underworld, the City God had to leave Lu Pan to guard the world of the living, and he took other ghosts into the underworld to fight.
Also because the City God is tied up in the underworld, Lu Pan dares to do some small actions in the world of the living. As for how Lu Pan wants to seize the position of the City God, this is not something the enchanting woman can know.
But there is no doubt that the princes of the underworld are definitely not good people. They are probably just using Lu Pan. It is still uncertain who will become the City God in the end!
After knowing the general outline of the matter, Chen Mo thought to himself, as expected: Judge Lu didn't want to be a good judge, but he had to take the risk to help a mortal. It must be because it was profitable!
The princes of the underworld? Let's see how much you can improve my strength!
On the other hand, after Lu Pan left the enchanting woman, he did not go directly to find Zhu Erdan, but returned to the City God Temple. He was worried that the enchanting woman had done something to his heart, so he decided to cleanse it with his own divine power first, and at the same time leave his own secret hand on it, so that if something unexpected happened, Zhu Erdan would not be able to escape from his palm.
The next night, Lu Pan's figure slowly emerged from the void. He looked at Zhu Erdan and Jiao Niang who were sleeping soundly. Finally, he stopped his gaze on Zhu Erdan and murmured, "Brother Erdan, don't blame me for using you. You won't suffer any loss anyway. At worst, I can find a way to compensate you later!"
After saying that, he started to act. In the moonlight, one could vaguely see a shadow taking out a heart and then putting another heart in it.
In the dream space
"Brother Lu, do you mean to say that you have successfully performed a heart transplant for me?" Zhu Erdan said with some surprise.
Nodding, Lu Pan smiled and said, "That's right. When you wake up tomorrow, you will find that you are smarter. By then, you will be able to manage your family business or study more efficiently. It will be easy for you to pass the exam."
"Thank you, Brother Lu. When I pass the imperial examination, I will definitely rebuild your golden body!" Zhu Erdan vowed.
The first thing Jourdan did when he woke up the next day was to run into his study. After some attempts, he indeed found changes. The books that were originally obscure and difficult for him to understand were no longer difficult for him to read and understand. Not only that, his memory also improved.
For this reason, not only Zhu Erdan was happy, but Jiao Niang was also very happy. Naturally, the two of them had to go to the City God Temple to thank Lu Pan again.
However, on the way back, Zhu Erdan was a little worried, and looked at Jiaoniang from time to time. The love they once had was still there, but there were some other emotions: Now that I have become smarter, it will not be difficult for me to pass the examination to become a scholar or even a juren, but Jiaoniang is so ordinary, this...
Thinking of this, Zhu Erdan became even more melancholy. Divorcing his wife was definitely impossible, not only because of their past feelings, but also because doing so would give people a reason to criticize him. He might be accused of abandoning his wife and dumping her after having an affair with her!
It seems that I have to trouble Brother Lu for this matter!
At the same time, in a gray world, a silver moon hung high in the sky, and countless gloomy people on the ground were fighting each other.
This was the underworld, and those fighting each other were the ghosts of the underworld. To be precise, the two forces attacking each other were the Red-haired Ghost King, one of the underworld lords, and the other was the City God of Ju County.
It stands to reason that the City God of Ju County would definitely not be able to defeat the Red-haired Ghost King, both in terms of personal strength and military strength. However, the City God of Ju County has the support of the immortals and gods, so with the help of other Yin gods, he managed to barely block the attack.
"Liu Tang, didn't I just agree to join your army? You actually come to attack me for this reason. Do you really think that we, the immortal god camp, are afraid of you?" The City God of Ju County shouted angrily.
The Liu Tang he mentioned was the real name of the Red-haired Ghost King. Upon hearing this, Liu Tang sneered, "If your immortal god camp is really united, I would not dare to attack you. But you are also scheming against each other, and they are already being held back by other ghost kings. If I don't attack you, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity?
I advise you that it is still not too late for you to submit to me now, otherwise, when I catch you, I will destroy you both physically and spiritually!"
Before the Ju County City God could speak, another Yin God from the Immortal God camp spoke up: "Liu Tang, you are only at the middle or lower level among the princes in the underworld, and you dare to speak so arrogantly? With us here, you can't go any further!"
Liu Tang's face turned cold instantly, and he actually abandoned his enemy, the City God of Ju County, and turned to kill the evil spirit. Fortunately, the City God of Ju County rescued him in time, otherwise the evil spirit might have died on the spot.
After another night of fighting, neither side had really gained an advantage, so they had no choice but to temporarily withdraw.
The City God of Ju County returned to his tent and said worriedly, "I don't know what's wrong with this Red-haired Ghost King Liu Tang. He insisted on attacking my base, and he looks determined to win. If he continues to consume this much, I'm afraid my divine power will be difficult to sustain!"
The City God is different from other ghosts. He is a Yin God who practices both the ghost way and the god way. The reason why he was able to escape from the hands of Liu Tang, who had a stronger cultivation level, was precisely because he practiced both ways.
Let's not talk about the ghost way for now, the Shinto way is a problem, because the Shinto way needs the power of incense as its source of strength, but he can only collect incense from Ju County, and for some reason, the incense has been getting less and less recently. If this goes on, his overall strength will inevitably decline, and by then he may not be able to stop Liu Tang's army.
Hearing this, the other Yin Gods looked at each other, unable to think of any good solution for a moment. In fact, this was not a problem that only the City God of Ju County would face. Many Yin Gods had encountered such troubles:
The limited territory means that there is an upper limit to the incense, and the upper limit to the incense means that there is an upper limit to the power of the Yin God. The underworld has never lacked for gifted Ghost Kings, and the upper limit of the Yin God is locked. However, other Ghost Kings specialize in ghost power and make rapid progress. This has led to an imbalance in the underworld, making it difficult for the immortals and gods to suppress the princes of the underworld.
There was one thing Liu Tang said that was indeed correct, that is, there was intrigue within the camp of immortals and gods. The reason was to fight for territory and incense, so as to improve their strength. The idea of those immortals and gods was very simple: since the incense in my own territory was limited, I would grab the territory and incense of other immortals and gods!
It has to be said that as a result, many powerful Yin Gods did emerge, but many Yin Gods also died because of this. In addition, a crisis of trust arose within the Immortal God camp because of this incident, which eventually led to each fighting each other. Otherwise, with the overall strength of the Immortal God camp, it would definitely be enough to sweep away any prince in the underworld, and the other underworld princes would only be able to resist if they united.
Should he also annex the territories and incense offerings of other city gods? This thought only appeared in the mind of Ju County City God for a moment before he rejected it:
First, the other city gods are not soft persimmons and you can’t squeeze them whenever you want, unless you plan early and train your own spokespersons to invade the other party’s territory and spread your own beliefs on the other party’s territory!
Second, it is a long process to annex the territories and incense of other city gods and make the humans in the other territory abandon their original beliefs and believe in oneself. At least it cannot be completed in a short period of time. After such a long time, he would have been defeated by Liu Tang long ago. Moreover, the faith collected in this way is not pure, and the improvement in strength is not as great as imagined.
Thirdly, annexing the territories and incense offerings of other city gods would not only anger the gods above him, but other city gods would also be hostile to him. In this way, he would really cut off his own retreat, unless he intended to join the camp of the princes!
Fourth, now is not the time to be truly despairing. He can ask for help from the gods above him. As long as they can send more reinforcements, it is possible to repel or even kill Liu Tang.
Thinking of this, Liu Tang called his subordinates and ordered: "Go and ask for help quickly, and be sure to bring reinforcements to this defense line as soon as possible!"
The subordinate naturally knew who he was asking for help from, nodded, and then turned into a beam of black light and rushed off in a certain direction.
Unfortunately, the black light was stopped not long after it left the tent. The one who stopped it was the red-haired ghost king Liu Tang. Before the ghost in the black light could beg for mercy, Liu Tang raised his sword and chopped him to death, turning him into pure ghost energy, which was then sucked into his mouth and swallowed.
